Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum)

Bald Cypress are long-lived trees common in swampy lowland areas throughout the southeast and the Atlantic Coastal Plain. Their iconic knees grow from the roots and assist the tree in its collection of oxygen from the air when the area is flooded. Bald Cypress have adapted to survive in swampy locations, but they will also grow on dry sites. During the summer the needle-like leaves of the Bald Cypress are dark green. In the fall the leaves change to a deep reddish brown color and fall from the tree. Their limbs are a favored roosting spot for turkeys and many birds and small mammals will feed on Cypress seeds. Wood from mature Bald Cypress trees is very valuable in the lumber industry due the wood's ability to resist decay and it's long durability. Bald Cypress trees will do best in soils with a pH below 6.8 where they will receive full sun.

Our bare root trees are grown in air pruning raised beds that promote root growth. Prior to shipping, the bare roots are coated in root gel and packaged in peat moss or shreaded paper depending on the shipping destination requirements.

Our potted oaks are grown in 3" x 3" x 8" inch plant band pots. These pots allow the trees to establish a deep and spreading root system. The trees are transfered to biodegradable plant bags for shipping. The bags are designed be planted with the tree, reducing the loss of soil around the roots. We also offer in pot shipping for an additional charge to cover the replacement cost of the pot.

Bare root Cypress trees ship between Dec. 15^th and May 31^th. Potted trees can be shipped year round but we advise that they not be shipped when there is risk of freeze damage to the trees during transport. See our Shipping page for more information.

We are unable to ship trees to Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Hawaii, Indiana, Oregon, Wyoming, or outside the United States. Additionally, we are prohibited from shipping potted trees to Utah and Washington.
